Chapter 791
Ren Xue
Black mist continuously surged from the crack, containing a dense power of the void's origin, corroding everything around it, even creating tiny black holes in space itself. Lin Mo stopped, his dragon power forming a sturdy protective shield against the erosion of the void mist. He could clearly sense an extremely powerful and bizarre force surging wildly within the crack—the core power of the void's origin, stronger than the combined power of the four void overlords ten years ago.
"Qian Renxue, wait for me! I will protect this world and make sure your sacrifice is not in vain!" Lin Mo silently chanted in his heart, a resolute glint in his eyes. He suddenly gathered all the dragon power, divine power, and even his own Dragon Emperor essence within him into his hands. The pale blue dragon power and golden divine power intertwined, forming a massive energy sphere. Within the energy sphere, countless dragon-shaped phantoms swirled, radiating world-destroying power. "Spirit Abyss Dragon Emperor - Origin Strike!" Lin Mo roared, slamming the energy sphere into the cracks of the golden array.
"Boom—!" The moment the energy ball slammed into the crack, it emitted a deafening roar. The golden array trembled violently, and the black mist within the crack was instantly suppressed by the energy ball's power. The agitation of the Void Origin was also temporarily relieved. Lin Mo was overjoyed and was about to continue injecting power to completely seal the crack when suddenly, an even more powerful black force erupted from the crack. That force surged out like a tsunami, instantly engulfing the energy ball. Immediately afterward, a gigantic Void Hand reached out from the crack and grabbed fiercely at Lin Mo.
The ethereal hand was as black as ink, its surface shrouded in eerie black mist. Wherever it passed, space was utterly torn apart. Lin Mo's protective shield was instantly shattered by the power of the ethereal hand. His body was struck by a tremendous force, flying backward like a kite with a broken string. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his soul wings dimmed, and his meridians suffered severe damage. "Lord Lin Mo!" The soul masters in the distance were horrified at the sight. Many tried to rush to Lin Mo's aid, but they were tightly bound by black light threads and unable to escape.
Seeing Lin Mo being knocked away, a glint of madness flashed in Zhao Feng's eyes. He suddenly channeled all the power of his conviction, soul power, and even burned a portion of his life force, transforming it into a golden streak of light that charged towards the Void Hand. "Holy Battle Axe - Sacrifice for the Cause - Ultimate Form!" Zhao Feng's roar was filled with determination. His body and the battle axe merged once more. This time, the battle axe's light shone even brighter, golden patterns spreading to every corner of the blade, containing the ultimate power of conviction to protect the world. "Chop!" The golden blade of light slammed into the Void Hand's wrist, producing a crisp, resounding crack. A huge wound was cleaved into the Void Hand, black mist gushing from it, and the Void Hand's movements instantly froze.
However, the power of the Void Origin was too immense. In just a breath, the wound on the Void Hand healed rapidly, and it instead grew even larger, slamming down fiercely towards Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng's expression changed, and he tried to dodge, but it was too late. The Void Hand struck him hard, and Zhao Feng let out a painful roar. His light blade form instantly dissipated, and his body flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground. He was covered in wounds, his breath extremely weak, and the battle axe in his hand fell to the side, no longer able to be gripped.
"Zhao Feng!" Lin Mo struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with grief as he saw Zhao Feng lying heavily injured on the ground. He wanted to rush over, but found his body wouldn't obey him. His dragon power was almost exhausted, and the burning of the Dragon Emperor's essence was rapidly draining his life force. Just then, the cracks in the golden array widened again, and more black mist surged out from them. The aura of the Void Origin grew increasingly dense, and the entire center of the Void Desert began to tremble violently. The cracks in the ground grew larger and larger, and countless grains of yellow sand fell into the cracks and were instantly swallowed up.
"Hahaha! Insignificant humans, do you think you can stop me like this?" A strange and cold voice came from the cracks in the golden array. The voice did not come from any Void Ruler, but from the Void Origin itself, carrying endless indifference and greed. "Qian Renxue's power has been exhausted, and your power is about to be depleted as well. Today, I will break through the seal, devour the entire world, and turn all living beings into nothingness!"
Upon hearing this voice, the Soul Masters present all showed expressions of despair. Many had exhausted their Soul Power, were covered in wounds, and even standing was extremely difficult. The black light threads continued to erode their bodies, and more and more Soul Masters collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again. But even so, many Soul Masters remained steadfast in their positions, their eyes shining with unwavering determination—they remembered Qian Renxue's sacrifice, Lin Mo and Zhao Feng's perseverance, and the homes and families they protected. They could not give up, and they would not give up.
"We can't give up...we can't give up..." A young Soul Master, covered in wounds and with his meridians eroded by the power of nothingness, still desperately channeled the last bit of soul power within his body into the golden array. "The world that Lady Qian Renxue protected with her life, we cannot let it be destroyed in our hands!" Although his voice was weak, it was full of determination. Hearing his words, the surrounding Soul Masters' eyes shone with hope again. They gritted their teeth and channeled the last bit of soul power they had left into the golden array, continuing to resist the attacks of the black light threads.
Looking at the Soul Masters who remained steadfast, Lin Mo was filled with emotion and strength. He knew he couldn't fall, Zhao Feng couldn't fall, and none of the Soul Masters could fall. He struggled to his feet, taking out a fragment of Qian Renxue's Angel Heart from his robes. The fragment was now dim and lifeless, yet it still radiated a faint divine power. Lin Mo held the fragment tightly in his hand, using his remaining dragon power and life force to nurture it, silently chanting Qian Renxue's name, his heart filled with only one belief: he must uphold the seal and protect this world.
A miracle occurred at that moment. When the fragment of the Angel's Heart sensed Lin Mo's resolve, the unwavering commitment of countless Soul Masters, and the lingering will of Qian Renxue, it suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light. The light grew increasingly intense, instantly illuminating the entire center of the Void Desert, even surpassing the radiance of the golden array. Countless golden points of light surged from the fragment, flying towards the surrounding Soul Masters. Those Soul Masters whose meridians had been eroded by the power of nothingness gradually had their damage repaired under the nourishment of the golden light, and their Soul Power began to slowly recover. Some of the Soul Masters who had already fallen even slowly opened their eyes, stood up again, and their eyes once more blazed with unwavering determination.
"This is... the power of Lady Qian Renxue!" a Soul Douluo exclaimed in surprise. He felt the void power within his body being rapidly purified by the golden light, and his soul power was constantly recovering. "Lady Qian Renxue hasn't left us; she has been protecting us all along!" (End of Chapter)
